NOW THE POPULAR GAME IS DEEMED DANGEROUS ON ONE SCHOOL PLAYGROUND. SCHOOL OFFICIALS ARE SAYING AS MANY AS EIGHT CHILDREN WERE RECENTLY INJURED. THEY ARE STOPPING SHORT OF SAYING THE GAME OF TAG IS BEING BANNED ENTIRELY BUT SAY THERE IS AN URGENT NEED TO IMPROVE PLAY GROUND SAFETY. ASK ANY CHILD AND THEY WILL PROBABLY TELL YOU IT IS THEIR FAVORITE PART OF THE SCHOOL DAY. RECESS. BUT AT CHARLOTTE AVENUE ELEMENTARY IN NASHUA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, TAG ISN'T NECESSARILY OUT BUT SCHOOL OFFICIALS SAY CHILDREN HERE HAVE MADE THE GAME TOO ROUGH. I THINK IT IS RIDICULOUS. I MEAN KIDS ARE GOING GET HURT REGARDLESS. HE WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE I MEAN KIDS WILL BE KIDS. THEY WILL PLAY TAG. PROBABLY KIND OF SILLY. I THINK IT IS JUST TAG. IT IS LIKE THE FIRST GAME I EVER LEARNED HOW TO PLAY. LAST WEEK THE PRINCIPAL NOTIFIED PARENTS TAG HAD BECOME INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS SAYING CHILDREN ARE OFTEN RUNNING THROUGH OTHER GAMES AND THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WHERE INNOCENT BYSTANDERS HAVE BEEN INJURED. PARENTS SAY AT SOME POINT, THOUGH, ADULTS HAVE TO LET KIDS BE KIDS. THEIR DEFENSE WAS THAT IT IS BEING BANNED IN OTHER SCHOOLS ACROSS THE NATION. I DON'T THINK IT AS COMMON THING. IF THE KIDS ARE TRIPPING ON SHOE LACES SHOULD THEY NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE SCHOOLS TOO, NOW? NEITHER THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL NOR THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT TO RETURN MY CALLS TO CLARIFY EXACTLY HOW THEY PLAN TO IMPROVE PLAYGROUND SAFETY OTHER
